App Crashes Upon Opening

MacOS 11.6 (M1)

Latest Version of Brave as of 12/08/21

@ysamy120,
When you downloaded Brave initially, were you sure to select the correct build (M1 chip vs Intel chip)?

Yes. I downloaded the M1

@ysamy120,
Can you try downloading the Beta build of the browser and tell me if you get the same results?

Yep. Just tried. Same problem.

@Mattches is there any other information you might need?

@ysamy120,
Can you please try opening Terminal on your mac and entering the following commands:

cd ~/Library/"Application Support"/BraveSoftware/

then, once you’re in the above directory type:

ls -la

and share the output here?

Thank you – can you please try one more of these commands?

sudo chown -R $USER:staff ~/Library/Application\ Support/BraveSoftware/

Once the above is run, can you please try launching the browser again?

I got this result. Then tried to reopen the browser and it crashed as usual. I also tried this command after the first two commands in the previous reply and got the same results

Is there anything else you want me to try?
